Wagging Good Adventure!
The Big South Fork Scenic Railway is a beautiful ride to a historic mining site in Kentucky. Our ride left the Stearns Depot and wound its way through the scenery along streams and through cliffs to the historic Blue Heron Mine. The National Park Service has a very informative outdoor museum and audio presentations that tell the story of life for coal miners. There is a small bookstore and a 15-minute video highlighting the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. My sister’s beagle, Margaret, and our goldendoodle, Harper, enjoyed the train ride. Dogs are welcome as long as they are leashed and ride on the floor. The train depot and adjoining shops are dog friendly, and all of the displays and bookstore at Blue Heron are, as well. I highly recommend this fun and relaxing train ride if you visiting the area. It’s a unique experience.
